Good night for these. I friend told me about getting one from a Target here in the SLC area. So I went to the store and they had 4 on the pegs and none in back. I called another collector and we agreed to meet at another Target. I got there first, went in and told them that I was at the other Target and they had sold out of a figure, and I asked if they would check to see if they had any. The girl did and asked me how many I wanted? I asked how many they had and a guy next to her said 1. So I said that I would take 1. The other collector showed up and we talked waiting for the figure to come out of the back. 5 minutes later a guy comes from the back with 1 case! I had only money for 2 more and the other collector took 2 and we left the rest that went to the pegs. I sold 3 to a local collector, will sell 1 more tomorrow to yet another, and then trade 1 for a Target White Exclusive clone. I will keep one which will give me 3 (1 for my son, 1 carded and 1 opened for me). Nice to hook up 3 other collectors!

Guess I should have grabbed a couple today to help people here, I saw 5 of them at a Target near my work today. It's a 30 minute drive from my house, so I could probably look on Monday on my lunch break. Passed on it as personally I don't think it's worth the money.

Remember the date on this is 11/20, so there may be a few hold-out Targets that will actually abide by the date (tomorrow as of this posting).

I thought I was going to have to hunt Sunday morning for this, but I found someone to bring out the 2 cases last week. The first time I asked, it was a new guy who was trying to be careful to go by the book, and he was really apologetic when he couldn't put them out. A few days later I asked someone else, and she had no problem.

I finally got the Target here in Notheren Calif. to bring a case out. At first they didn't know what I was talking about, but the guy got on the computer and printed the description for it. It said the the Trooper had no release date, and that they were only getting one case of 8, and also to limit them to 2 per customer. So I would say they are very limited up here becasue they have about 30 each of Anakin and Obi-won.

I saw 3 of these on an endcap at Target this weekend, sitting where the Lava Obi Wan/Anakins were before. Not sure where those went to, as it seemed like there were quite a few left last time I was there. I didn't pick it up, just can't pay $13 for it, but it did look kind of neat.

You know though, as I speculated earlier, I do think that the excitement has warn off a bit because these are a little easier to find than the exclusives earlier in the year. And I don't think so much the excitement from the collecting community, but as from the scalpers. I think they learned that they if they pick up some, they can move them, but if they pick up every one they can, they're going to be stuck with stuff they can't get rid of.
